Highlights now on YouTube. The offside for their goal at best inconclusive and for once I am not going to blame the ref. What they do shown is a series of great saves by our new keeper, while none of Fylde's chances came from his many kicks out that went directly into touch. Great pass by Wishart to set up Robinson, but note especially the latter's run into space that set up the opportunity. Why don't we do that more often? Robinson's header good too. Shame that their well under six foot keeper managed to claw it away. However, anyone who didn't go should not be fooled by the highlights. Our three chances were the sum total of the 90+ minutes, with nothing whatsoever until we scored.

One thing I've noticed about our recent keepers is that as soon as they prepare to kick, the entire team moves to one side of the pitch. So, a) the opposition know exactly where the kick is going, b) that part of the pitch gets very crowded, making it almost impossible for us to collect the ball, c) on windy days the ball is more likely to go out. Why do we do this - is it just where the keeper prefers to kick, or is he under instruction only to kick there? I don't remember this happening with Worgan - he seemed to vary his distribution (I know this wasn't exactly his strong point, but at least he put some thought into it). Surely, the better option would be for the players to stay in position and for the keeper to choose where he places the ball? Is this another example of your memory failing?
If Flisher was playing there was only ever one place Worgan attempted to kick it to, Flisher's head.
My memory's not quite that bad, but going back two seasons is stretching it a bit!

Basically, if Davies had let it go and their player had scored, the goal would have been disallowed for offside. Can someone please tell me how that isn't interfering with play ??

Stupid rule. If you're on the pitch, and not interfering with play, you shouldn't be on the pitch.

Who do you want to manage the side then?

There have been times in the past when I have felt that daveu couldn't see anything amiss, when clearly the team had faults. Hence regular references to his amber shaded specs. But he's dead right about the keyboard warriors moaning away and complaining about tactics, team selection, individual players and the rest. Please give it a rest on this forum and allow our new management team to deliver improved performances and results. Fair enough, Saturday was only a very small step forward and lots of improvement is needed. But some of the posts are just so unforgiving and critical. No help to anybody. Just happy they are out of my earshot in the Genco.

Would have thought you would have to be there to say that. It wasn't rocking, but some of the kids were making an effort. Who can blame them for not bothering to be superfans singing non stop for 90 minutes? Given them something to celebrate and you'll hear them from 50 yards away in another completely different stand.

Who do you want to manage the side then? Read the post again. Positive about the keeper, positive about Robinson. Previous posts positive about effort and defending Simon Walton. It is clearly work in progress, but until we scored on Saturday, it was pretty dire. The coach said so. If you pay to see a game, you are entitled to an opinion on it. Pretending obvious faults do not exist does not make them go away. Am sure the management want to do their best, but they should never be immune to criticism and compared to what others can serve up on this forum and elsewhere, mine is not going to give anyone sleepless nights. We have a chance to go again Tuesday and that is what matters

So which is better - playing really well v D&R and losing 0-3, or being so-so v Fylde and drawing 1-1?

Fair enough 61666, nobody should kid themselves that our performance on Saturday has given supporters a lift. Happy enough with scraping a point, but everybody saw the team outplayed and outclassed for long periods of the match. But we are where we are, down at the bottom of the table, 7 points away from safety, and only a slim chance of avoiding relegation. I can well understand if daveu gets fed up with people who cannot wait to get on the forum moaning about the management team, selection, tactics, individual players, style of play, lack of goals, etc, etc. For you to argue that our new look management team "should never be immune from criticism" as you say. OMG ! We have had 5 different management teams already this season alone (counting temporary in charge) and here you are 3 matches in and you are already having a go. For the vast majority of supporters, John Still and co represent a beacon of hope who we should get behind 100%.

Why did some people expect us to play brilliantly on Saturday? We are second bottom of the league and we were playing a form side from the play-offs. Miracles do not happen overnight and when you are desperate for points you take what you can. 1-1 is better than playing well and losing. I expect us to try and grind out results between now and the end of the season.. a few 1-0 wins which is what Chesterfield and others managed. We are not going to beat anyone 3 or 4 nil with this squad. John Still needs much more time to turn this shit-show of a season around.

The main stand was trying to get the EE to sing at some points! I shall never understand the noise we make away compared to the library we often have at home. At Orient the choir sang for the whole 90 minutes, even though we lost 3-0. Next home game, it's dead quiet after the first five minutes. How much better would we play with a wall of noise like Orient (or Barnet, or half a dozen other aways)?
